I guess you are plannung your own garment of a smith in the late-bronze/early iron age, right ??
(If you would like to get a complete survey on iron age clothing, I fear this would take ages )
The problem is that there are only very few original remains known for the Hallstatt-period. And they concentrate on Austria and South Germany and a few on the other side of the alps.
But what we have allows to suppose the following:
Rule Number One: Don?t rack your brains too much.
We have wool, linnen, hemp and nettle for woven clothing. Hues are coming from natural colours, of course, that means no bright colours. What was found was blue, dark brown, black, dark red, olive-green, yellow, rust red, sky-blue.
Weaving techniques are more or less the same as still used today, there is no weft-type you should avoid.
You may use a tunic and the usuall cape.
I would not recommend trousers, esp. not in your given time-span. The first prove for them is coming from the Hallstatt grave 996, a sheath is decorated with warriors wearing some of them. It dates around 500-450 BC.
You may use "leggins", made from wool. Iron-age ones where found on an Austrian glacier.
Don?t overestimate the pictures on the situlae. There is no proof that they really show genuin celtic clothing. The situlae are coming from the ethruscan side of the alps, so it it?s possible, that they show transalpine clothing.
Another problem is that the gravefinds almost exclusively refer only to the rich people. So I would not place a bet on how a smith really would look like.
He may have used one or more needles to close the cape. It?s unclear till today how in early iron age the belts where closed. There is one hook out from the Hallstatt-graves which may have used for this purpose, but that?s it.
Shoes are leather, you may use a pointed type or a simple "roman" style sandal.
But there is one question, Jeroen. The Netherlands have just one find of clear Hallstatt provenience. It?s this sword-grave called "Ossen" (? I?m not completely shure of the name), first published in the thirties, then again somewhere in the fifties.
So - if you think about an "Dutch" Iron-ager, you may refer much more on bog-mummies found in the NL, as on central European Hallstatt clothing.
